Anchoring HVAC and Equipment
Anchoring HVAC and Equipment
(OP)
Does international building code require anchoring HVAC and other equipment for all buildings or only critical facilities such as hospitals? Also, Does IBC, chapter 16, part 1604.9 the word "system" to include HVAC and other equipment?

Chapter 6 has wind design loads. There's no explicit guidance on anchorage for wind, but it's inferred that if the wind would move the equipment, you need to anchor it.
